unicode error in some figure paths

Question

unicode error in some figure paths

Brad-Hesson opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

When I use an absolute path in windows, the path starts with C:\Users\.... When the generated python script tries to use that path, it gives the following error:

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

This is because the script is interpreting the \U as a unicode character.

To fix this, generate a raw string in the generated script by putting an 'r' in front of the path string, after fn=. Change plot.rs line 628 from

let commands = format!("{}\nfn='{}'\n{}", self.buffer, fig_path.to_string_lossy(), txt);

to

let commands = format!("{}\nfn=r'{}'\n{}", self.buffer, fig_path.to_string_lossy(), txt);

By the way, you may use the 0.3.5 version now in Cargo.toml (it has the suggested fix)
